heyData, a compliance platform, has closed a $16.5m Series A funding round led by Riverside Acceleration Capital (RAC).
According to the company, compliance today is often treated like an opaque “black box” or an expensive, spreadsheet-driven task that sits outside the core workflow of teams.
With this new funding, heyData intends to build solutions that integrate seamlessly into everyday work, reducing manual effort and improving clarity for users.
heyData co-founder Miloš Djurdjević said, “We’re building heyData for the reality of modern business. This round gives us the fuel to bring IT security and compliance together in one place, so you can stop coordinating tasks and start feeling in control.”
heyData planned to raise this round later in 2026, but says the rapidly shifting landscape of European compliance requirements and the increasing complexity of digital threats made immediate investment imperative.
The funding will support three strategic areas: the expansion of united security and compliance features on a modular platform, the addition of more compliance frameworks and deeper integrations to automate work, and the geographic scaling of heyData’s solution beyond its established foothold in the DACH region into broader European markets.
Martin Bastius, commenting on the role of compliance in brand trust, said, “Compliance is a badge of trust. We want to ensure you can prove that trust to your customers at any time, with a system that grows as fast as you do.”
heyData’s platform targets businesses that need to navigate GDPR, ISO 27001 and other regulatory standards without burdening teams with manual processes. Its services include a document vault, vendor risk management, compliance audit, compliance trainings and HR integrations.
